Game Setup
Manawave Setup
Set up Manawave between you and your opponent.
The Manawave board starts with 5 nexus hex tiles (1-5) between a source hex tile and a sink hex tile at either end. The player on the left-hand side of the manawave's travel from the source to the sink is called the "port side" player and the player to the right is called the "starboard side" player.
Tile Card Pile Setup
Take the selection tile cards for each faction and shuffle them all together. This will become the Tile Card Pile.

That's it. You've selected your factions, you've set up the manawave and have your Tile Card Pile ready. Time to play!
